ABC strut dust covers

I'm looking for sources of ABC front and back strut dust covers for an S55 and SL65 so far I have found one overseas supplier any information about supplier and applications would be appreciated.




Thx

My strut covers are torn on all 4 corners. I don't know how essential they are to the system (probably keep debris from getting inside the ABC lines) but if you care for functionality you can always cut generic boot covers to size and then zip tie them onto the struts.

I don't believe struts need to be entirely replaced with Arnott because of a torn dust cover but that seems to be the route many owners travel. Any generic strut cover of the same size cut down should do 99% the same job.

I appreciate your comments, I got the replacements in from overseas and when I'll be installing them I'll take some pictures and post them. If I find an alternate method to cover the strut that will keep them clean I'll be trying that as well.

Thx.
